What are people saying about Yardenit (Jordan River Baptismal Site)

A must do from Amman
This tour has the perfect itinerary for a day trip from Amman. Not only do you see and float in the Dead Sea, but you go to the Bethany site on the Jordan River where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. The museums by Bethany give you a perspective of where events took place on the Jordan side of the river. It was super informative. Sami was so knowledgeable and fun that he made our day!
